The richness of Song 2

by Steven Garrity

YouTube Guitar-Guy Paul Davids does a great dive into how rich the seemingly simple tones of Blur’s Song 2 really are. Davids doesn’t address the distorted bass, which is a big part of the sound, but his video will still make you enjoy Song 2 even more.

Look at all those Telecasters!

I saw the amazing Nova Scotia band Sandbox play in Charlottetown PEI some time in the late 90s and they did a blistering cover of Song 2.

These types of YouTube channels have such high levels of production quality that it’s almost unsettling.
